Let the Ford Avenue Piquette Plant provide

your event with a timeless backdrop—an

urban industrial setting steeped in the past

where guests can walk the same floors a

young Henry Ford walked, sit in the driver’s

seat of a Model T, and mingle where an

invention that would forever change the world

was born. It’s a setting that is signature Detroit

and can be found nowhere else.

Our Story. The Ford Avenue Piquette Plant was built in 1904 by the

fledgling Ford Motor Company. It was here that Henry Ford

would produce several car models- including his most famous

automobile- the Model T. Once outside the plant’s walls,

the Model T started a revolution that would put the world on

wheels. When demand for the Model T exceeded the plant’s

capabilities, Ford moved production over to the Highland Park

Plant. The Piquette Avenue Plant was bought by Studebaker

and then later used as a warehouse until it fell into almost total

disuse in the 1990s- gradually becoming just another industrial

building succumbing to the elements. In 2000, the Plant was

saved through the work of members of the Henry Ford Heritage

Association. It is now a National Historic Landmark that

operates as a museum and learning center.
